My advice if I was going to give advice would be, I do not recommend using the AAFES Auction site.

Many of the interior shots for the 1976 movie Logan's Run were filmed in the Apparel Mart.

It is so new it hasn't shown up on the image yet!

The location of the Safety meeting is The Sprague Feild House. The Meeting starts at 9:00 am, on Tuesdays and Thurdays.

Joppa is now a rising community with new homes being built through the Dallas Habitat Organization. I also grew up in the State-Thomas area. The Freedman's Cemetery has been reconstructed and shows a beautiful King and Queen at it's entrance. This is next to the Walmart on Hwy 75 at Lemmon.I'm very fortunate to share in some of the history with these areas. Knowing that Joppa was the beginning of the June 19th celebration, I'm overwhelmed. Many events takes place in Joppa each year like parades, horseback riding, and community gatherings. This is a new beginning for my family and I'm glad to be here.

In 1948 and 1949 I would listen to The Dallas Eagles on my crystal radio set while retiring for the evening on the warm summer nights of Dallas, Texas. Some of those warm evenings I rode the Southbound Junius Heights Streetcar to the end of the line at Burnett Field to attend a game. One of the Sunday afternoons my father and I saw an exhibition game between the Eagles and Yankees.

An important crossing such as this needed the best men to run it. With high unemployment after the war and relative stagnation of the economy, William Miller could have chosen one of a thousand capable men to oversee his ferry operation. The man Miller handpicked was Henry Critz Hines. Really it was more of a business agreement among men who viewed each other as equals. As a result, Hines became one of the first African American entepreneurs after the Civil War. Not just in Dallas or Texas or even in the South. In the whole of the United States. In addition, you will find very few freed slaves who so soon after the war were able to make a living from a customer base that was largely anglo. Henry Critz Hines also founded Joppa, one of the best preserved, if not the best preserved Freedmen's communities left in the United States. Joppa was founded in 1872 by Hines and freed slaves from the Miller Plantation. Here they carved trees out of the forest for cabins at first, replaced by shotgun houses, some of which are still standing today. Many of the original Joppa residents were freedmen who immigrated from East Texas plantations. The attraction of Joppa was the safety of living near a large town like Dallas while maintaining the agrarian lifestyle they knew from earlier times. Other freedmen communities in Dallas such as Deep Ellum and State-Thomas had residents more comfortable with city life.

With a significant number of mature trees now, this community is coming more and more into its own. appearing to have that older established atmosphere.
